It’s been decided. On October 20th, 2010, we will wear purple in honor of the 6 gay boys who committed suicide in recent weeks/months due to homophobic abuse in their homes at at their schools. Purple represents Spirit on the LGBTQ flag and that’s exactly what we’d like all of you to have with you: spirit. Please know that times will get better and that you will meet people who will love you and respect you for who you are, no matter your sexuality. Please wear purple on October 20th. Tell your friends, family, co-workers, neighbors and schools.

A couple of people were interested in seeing an interview Heath did with Jay Leno right after Brokeback came out, so I thought I would upload it and send it to folks who are interested. It's damn adorable, Heath is his usual cute fidgety self with his rockin' fashion sense, but it's a little lengthy (20 mins) because I left Heidi Klum's interview that directly followed Heath's in the video - I thought the interaction between the two was hilarious. If you're interested, just leave a comment with your email addy - I'll be screening comments so your addresses won't appear publicly.

I've been tagged by the lovely lolitaray to do the birthday month meme, so here goes:

* Pick your birth month.* Strike out anything that doesn't apply to you.* Bold the five-ten that best apply to you.* Copy to your own journal, with all twelve months under an lj-cut.* Tag 5 people from your friends list.

Oh favorite stories, why hast thou forsaken me? I've been faithful and diligent to you, following your development, reviewing (okay, maybe not so much with the reviewing) and reading updates without fail, yet you scorn and mock me so. First Until I Have You and its sequel, Until I Save You by deep_emerald were taken down, then Phoenix Mark by bramblerose_pf. Now I log in and find out that Cambiare Podentes by aspenlight/sakuramichel has been removed, no explanation given. Now I know that fic writers are in no way obligated or beholden to readers, and I respect that completely; but dammit if it doesn't make me sad all the same. Enough to rouse me out of lurker status anyway. Excuse me folks, while I sob silently in a corner.*

*Figured I was overdue for the obligatory LJ whine/rant. Hope this doesn't disappoint!

I haven't posted in ages, but I just wondered if anyone knows what happened to deep_emerald? I was enjoying her story, Until I Save You, but I see her journal is gone. Here's to hoping she's all right.
